Ruby’s Guitar Armrest

Guitarists have long wrestled with the problem of resting the picking arm on the edge of the guitar and damping the top’s vibration. This damping results in a loss of tone, volume and projection, depending on how much weight of the player’s arm rests on the top. Ruby’s Guitar Armrest is an easy way to deal with this, and it can instantly improve the tone, volume and projection of the guitar and the geometry of the player’s hand position.

Ruby’s Guitar Armrest is a simple armrest that attaches to the lower bass side of the guitar with suction cups, and supports the forearm away from the top. This removable design does not require any modification to the instrument, and if used properly (just remove the armrest after playing) will not harm the instrument in any way.

Ruby’s Guitar Armrest

Note:On instruments with nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, including guitars like relatively new Gibson or Martin models, the finish does not cure for quite some time, and leaving the suction cups in place may result in imprints or impressions in the lacquer. Synthetic finishes, such as the urethane or polyester finishes found on many guitars, and Larrivee or Taylor-style UV-cured finishes should not have this issue.

TESTIMONIALS

Lucky Winner Photo-Contest!

I was one of the lucky winners of your Christmas photo-contest giveaway. I’d like to express my thanks! I’ve purchased two instruments from you guys, had lots of set-up work done; am delighted with your service, expertise and advice.

Thank You For Your Help And Patience.

I want to send you this happy mail and thank you for your help and patience. The Saratoga is ringing and plinging and has accepted me as her user. My fingerpicking is improving and I am happy in every way.

Next year I will buy a good open back banjo and I mean to buy it from you. I don’t find the Saratoga to be ideal for claw hammer so we must look into the matter. Maybe a fine top end instrument already used and treated with songs? Greetings from Norway!

Community support

Myself and some of my mates have developed a charitable organization in Toronto called Guitars for Kids Toronto. We provide new and previously loved guitars to underprivileged kids in Toronto through Big Brothers and Sisters. I was looking for a “drop-off” depot in the east-end, where guitar donations could be left for pick-up.
If you have been to 12th Fret, you would know that they do not have much room for stocking additional gear – especially not for sale gear!
Because 12th Fret saw the value in community support…they graciously signed up to become a drop-off centre and have helped to promote GfK Toronto through their newsletters, web pages and social outlets!
Special thanks to Vicki, Grant, Brian and the team for your continued support!

Really Like What You Folks Have Done!

I really like what you’ve done with the website and newsletter posting. Please keep these things coming. Another reason why The Twelfth Fret is just about the finest ‘go to’ place for all of us guitarists, and those who pursue other fretted instruments.

You were right, it is a gem.

The guitar came safe and sound. With that case I don’t know why it wouldn’t! You were right, it is a gem. It seems like it hasn’t been played much. Hardly a mark on it. I know it is 26 years old. Do you think it will open up more, being a spruce top and all? Anyhow, I’d like to thank you Grant for your high level of expertise and professionalism. I am very pleased with this guitar!
